Guinness World Records has announced that John Tinniswood, the world’s oldest man, died at the age of 112 on Monday, November 25, 2024, in the care home in Southport, England.
His family told Guinness World Records in a statement: “His last day was surrounded by music and love.”
John always liked to say thank you. So on his behalf, thanks to all those who cared for him over the years, including his carers at the Hollies Care Home, his GPs, district nurses, occupational therapist and other NHS staff.
John was born on 26 August 1912 in Liverpool, the city where he grew up and eventually met his wife.
From ages 100-110, John received a birthday card every year from Queen Elizabeth II, who was almost 14 years younger than him.
In April 2024, aged 111, he became the world’s oldest living man, following the death of 114-year-old Juan Vicente Pérez from Venezuela.
Ever modest, John said there wasn’t any secret to his record-breaking longevity, describing it as pure luck.
John lived to be the fourth-oldest British man in recorded history.
